[18.09 backport] Deprecate AuFS storage driver #1485

Closed

Commits on Oct 26, 2018

  1. Deprecate AuFS storage driver

    The `aufs` storage driver is deprecated in favor of `overlay2`, and will
    be removed in a future release. Users of the `aufs` storage driver are
    recommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as `overlay2`, which
    is now the default storage driver.
    
    The `aufs` storage driver facilitates running Docker on distros that have no
    support for OverlayFS, such as Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which originally shipped with
    a 3.14 kernel.
    
    Now that Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer a supported distro for Docker, and `overlay2`
    is available to all supported distros (as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have
    support for multiple lowerdirs backported), there is no reason to continue
    maintenance of the `aufs` storage driver.
